Bonjour Provence!

We will be going to Paris on the 12th January 2024. We will take the eurostar to Amsterdam then to London and back to Paris. We will then spend our time in Provence. We have booked our hotels and trains but the actual itinerary has not been confirmed. I am sure it will be before we board the plane.

We have also confirmed our flight to Frankfurt in April.

Pura Luhur Uluwatu

This temple lies on the edge of a cliff at the end of South Bali's Bukit Peninsula. A small temple may have existed in the 11th centtury but it was extensively rebuilt in the 16th century.








The temple faces the Indian Ocean



A single tier Meru



The only interesting part of this temple is its inhabitants, the monkeys







The monkeys here are notorious for snatching visitors' belongings
